‘Women in the Electrical Industry Day’ offered to young people
June 16th, 2014
A ‘Women in the Electrical Industry Day’ will take place next month to try and encourage more women into the industry. In the interests of encouraging girls to consider non traditional career opportunities, SGS College is offering a free one day experience for year 10 girls from local schools to try out electrical work and to meet some women already in the industry. Research evidence shows that girls are most influenced by meeting women already in a non-traditional occupational sector, as they can then see that it is a possibility for them in the future.
On Wednesday 9th July from 9.30-3pm, the participants will get hands on experience in tailored workshops and receive guidance and information from successful women already in the electrical industry. This includes Debbie Stanley-Jones who created her own plumbing business ‘Plumbher’ after being made redundant and ‘Down to Earth’ a female construction company.
Organiser and Tutor, Lisa Stone comments: “This taster day is aimed for young women to consider electric as a career route. It will be fun and informative, and will hopefully encourage more girls into the sector.”
